At Ocean Tuition, we provide focused, structured 11+ exam preparation delivered by experienced 11+ exam tutors who understand the demands of selective school entrance exams. Based in Liverpool and supporting families across Merseyside, our tutoring is designed to help students approach the 11 plus exam with confidence, strong subject knowledge, and effective exam technique.

- English – comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and creative writing
- Maths – arithmetic, problem-solving, reasoning, and multi-step questions
- Verbal reasoning – word-based logic, codes, and vocabulary reasoning
- Non-verbal reasoning – shapes, patterns, sequences, and spatial reasoning
Our tutors ensure students understand both the content and the structure of the assessments they will face.
